S - Luke 18:27 He replied, “What is impossible for people is possible with God.”
O - Jesus is talking to the wealthy man here who is asking who to get to heaven. Jesus starts with the commandments and once the man says he's followed these since his youth Jesus says to sell all his posessions and follow Him. The man becomes sad and at this point Jesus says that it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God than for a camel to enter THE eye of the needle. Everyone then asks, then who can be saved, followed by this verse. It is hard for a wealthy person to follow Jesus because many times there treasure is their money and a person can only have one master. BUT, this verse says nothing is impossible for God!
A - As we have been blessed and are continuing to be blessed even more radically, I need to keep this warning near me so that I don't fall prey to placing my treasure in my posessions. I have Jesus in my heart so nothing is impossible for me and this weekness of wealthy people is something that with His help, I will be able to overcome and live victoriously.
P - Dear Heavenly Father, I praise you this morning for all that you have done for me and my family's lives! Be with us today and bless us and guide us. I pray that I be a witness for you and a man that others look at and see Jesus through.
